Types of Braces

With today's technology, patients now have more options when it comes to wearing braces. While traditional metal braces are still widely used, clear braces, lingual braces and self-ligating braces are becoming increasingly popular along with clear appliances.

Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable. They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks to ceramic braces are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

ClearCorrect invisible braces are the clear, simple way to straighten your teeth without using traditional metal braces. The ClearCorrect aligners are custom-made with computer precision. They are removable and clear, meaning you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

In-Ovation C is a self-ligating, clear bracket that allows for more control during treatment compared to more traditional brackets. The difference is that they are smaller in size, but also stronger and more efficient because they have a built-in clip that holds the archwire in place - without the need for wire or elastic ties. This allows for greater overall attractiveness, increased comfort and a more reliable product. In-Ovation C's ceramic translucency helps to camouflage the appearance of braces, allowing you to maintain the natural beauty of your smile.

In-Ovation R is a revolutionary new system of braces that is not only faster for your orthodontist to use, but it can also significantly shorten your treatment time. It's great-looking and smaller for increased patient comfort. Plus, In-Ovation R allows for better oral hygiene than conventional braces.
